Carnitas

All ingredients are to taste - use more or less as you like.

Pork shoulder roast, bone in, cheap with as much fat as you can get.
2 – 3 Whole bay leaves
2 Chopped onions
2 – 3 Chopped carrots
2 – 3 Garlic cloves
1 Tbls each Salt, oregano, grnd cumin, grnd coriander seed, crushed juniper berries

Cover all with water (put a fold up steamer basket on top to keep meat under), bring to boil and simmer 2 -3 hours. Bake the meat 1 hour at 350*. Serve chopped or pulled. Save leftovers, if any, for soup.
Strain and save stock for soup. Delicious with meat and hominy and topped with fresh chopped onion, chili pepper of choice, cilantro and fresh squeezed lime juice.
